Brought to you by Penguin. There is no meant to be but the love I’ve known has made it hard to believe that An inventive, funny and deeply moving family epic: a love story, an elegy and a reminder that even in the mess of family and memory there is something to laugh about Jarred McGinnis was...

After a car accident, Jarred discovers he'll never walk again. Confined to a 'giant roller-skate', he finds himself with neither money nor job. Worse still, he's forced to live back home with the father he hasn't spoken to in 10 years. Add in a shoplifting habit, an addiction to painkillers and the fact that total strangers now treat him like he's an idiot, it's a recipe for self-destruction. As he tries to piece his life together again, he looks back over his past and the tragedy that blasted his family apart.

In seguito a un incidente, Jarred perde la mobilità degli arti inferiori. La sua vita sulla sedia a rotelle riparte da casa di suo padre, con il quale i rapporti sono freddi da ormai una decina d'anni. Senza lavoro né soldi, e con poche prospettive di trovarne nell'immediato, Jarred comincia a dubitare del valore della sua stessa vita. Ma il colore della vita non si esaurisce: svanito negli aspetti che privilegiava prima dell'incidente, adesso Jarred inizierà a vederlo in angoli, situazioni e persone che prima non avrebbero catturato la sua attenzione.
